William Addison Dwiggins (June 19, 1880 – December 25, 1956), was an American type designer, calligrapher, and book designer. He attained prominence as an illustrator and commercial artist, and he brought to the designing of type and books some of the boldness that he displayed in his advertising work. His work can be described as ornamented and geometric, similar to the Art Moderne and Art Deco styles of the period, using Oriental influences and breaking from the more antiquarian styles of his colleagues and mentors Updike, Cleland and Goudy.

  • William Addison Dwiggins (Martinsville, 19 giugno 1880 – Hingham Center, 25 dicembre 1956) è stato un tipografo, illustratore, designer e calligrafo statunitense di libri.Raggiunse la fama di illustratore e commercial artist, e apportò alla progettazione dei caratteri e dei libri un po' dell'audacia che egli stesso mostrava nel suo lavoro pubblicitario. Le sue opere possono essere descritte come ornamentali e geometriche, dallo stile simile a quello Art Moderne e Art Déco del periodo, rifacendosi a influenze orientali e distaccandosi dagli stili più antiquari dei suoi colleghi e mentori Updike, Cleland e Goudy. Dwiggins è riconosciuto per aver coniato l'espressione "graphic design" nel 1922, per descrivere le sue varie attività nella comunicazione stampata, come il design del libro, illustrazione, tipografia, lettering e calligrafia (i suoi primi design di caratteri saranno rilasciati molto più tardi). L'espressione non diverrà di uso comune fino al secondo dopoguerra. (it)

Он достиг известности как иллюстратор и коммерческий художник, внёс в дизайн шрифта и книг новые идеи, которые показал в своей рекламной работе.Его работы орнаментированы и геометричны, согласно стилям модерна и ар-деко того периода, но в них присутствуют восточные мотивы, которые уже отходят от более антикварных стилей его коллег и наставников Апдайка, Клеланда и Гауди. Двиггинсу приписывают создание термина «графический дизайн» в 1922 году для описания его деятельности в полиграфии, дизайне книг, иллюстрации, типографике, леттеринге и каллиграфии. Термин получил широкое распространение после Второй мировой войны. (ru)
